Core education is captured in this acronym: RRR But RRR is not what you think it is. In my world it is Reading, aRithmetic and Remembering! A knowledge of history is vitally important for decision making today. To not know history is to repeat the mistakes made then that caused pain and disasters. We must be students of...

A Newborn
You must be born again: John 3:7, Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ I Peter 2:2-3, As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

Free and Brave
Our national anthem – “The Star Spangled Banner” by Francis Scott Key O! say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming: Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming, And the rocket's red...

Jesus came as a missionary and left behind a missionary. The area was a place once given to hearing God, obeying God and... Continue Reading →
Storm Preps
